I took it everywhere and did many of the same things you speak of. I also always wanted it in my pocket when I played baseball. It's totally ruined now, but I still have it. In fact I keep it in a lock box with a few other semi-valuable cards (pre-1957 Topps, Bowmans from the '40s, etc.) but I have vowed to never put it in a card protector. It represents to me what collecting should be about and it is a link to my own childhood.Eggrockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03543338186244288630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-8412005495402236672009-05-12T04:58:00.000-04:002009-05-12T04:58:00.000-04:00Can you actually touch your card enough to damage ...Can you actually touch your card enough to damage it?

The kid didn't think Harmon was any good because he had a low batting average. I left that card and several other oldies in my pocket and my mom washed the pants. :(Matt Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386635541020320778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-43103307159553657272009-04-21T13:42:00.000-04:002009-04-21T13:42:00.000-04:00I think that I am going to run an experiment and a...I think that I am going to run an experiment and attempt to artificially "love" a card.
